Good luck finding a better Sovereign than this one! Just look at the pictures! This GT is in amazing condition, it has been left in box and shows very little use. If I could guess it's one of the last ones sold in 2013 before they were discontinued. The ONLY issue is that the lower rod that The coil attaches to has been shortened to 14 inches so the longest that the detector can be stretched to is 34 inches from the handle but you can purchase another rod easily if you are taller as this detector used the same lower rod as multiple detectors that Minelab made, the upper rod is very long on this detector. I am 5' 7" and have to put it at the second notch up from the coil or the detector is too long for me so I would say that most people of average height would be just fine with the shorter rod. The coil is immaculate including the coil wire. It includes a 550 ( not 180) meter that is immaculate as well. The control unit has no dirt or sand in it . There are a few scuffs on the bottom on control unit as shown in pictures. It includes everything that I will list: Sovereign GT Detector with 10" Tornado coil, adhesive speaker cover for keeping sand out when using headphones, 550 digital target meter, original box in amazing condition it even has the sales receipt from Minelab still attached to box, original manual , Gary Drayton Sovereign book, original warranty card never sent in, hip mount bag, 2 rechargeable batteries, one is missing the clips but still charges and stays in detector securely, 1 alkaline battery pack still in original package never opened, and the battery wall charger in original box. This detector functions perfectly. Don't miss out on this rare find! Shipping is included in this package. I will probably use UPS via Pirate ship for shipping. Why am I selling? This was another one of my "impulse buys" Directly Message me through the forums if interested. If you only reply to post I won't get email letting me know.
